My Why 💗

I didn’t choose to specialise in menopause because it was a trend.

I chose it because I lived it.

I started experiencing perimenopause at just 35, but I had no idea what was happening to my body.

I wasn’t diagnosed until I was 40, and that meant years of struggling with symptoms, wondering what was wrong with me and feeling like I just wasn’t myself anymore.

Once I finally understood what was happening and started the right treatment, everything changed.

It made me realise just how many women are going through the same thing — feeling exhausted, struggling with their weight, losing confidence, noticing changes in their body and wondering why the things that used to work suddenly don’t anymore.

That’s why I became a Menopause Specialist Personal Trainer. 💪🏼

I want women to understand that menopause doesn’t mean giving up on your strength, your body or your confidence.

Strength training can be one of the most powerful tools we have during perimenopause and menopause.

My goal is to help women feel strong, capable and confident — not just in the gym, but in themselves.

Because I know what it feels like to think “Why is my body doing this to me?”

And I also know how empowering it feels when you finally understand it. ❤️

This is my why. This is why I do what I do.

Recently, some of you have been noticing how much my body has changed.

Last year I was dealing with a devastating breakup, trying to find somewhere to live, and at times didn’t even know where I was going to sleep.

Today I’m stronger, healthier, happier, and more confident than I’ve been in years.

The difference wasn’t one magic diet, one workout programme, or one life-changing moment.

It was consistency.

Learning what my body needed. Fixing my gut health. Training heavy. Prioritising sleep. Taking care of my mental health. Learning to love myself again.

The physical transformation is obvious, but the mental transformation is the one I’m most proud of.

One year ago I was surviving.

Now I’m thriving.

My Client Yve is a kayaker and goes out on her boat a lot through winter as well as the summer.

Sled pushes and pulls are underrated training for kayaking and boat work.

They build:

* leg drive
* core stiffness
* grip endurance
* shoulder stability
* full-body power

Heavy pushes improve drive and conditioning.
Backward drags strengthen the knees and quads with low joint stress.
Rope pulls have huge carryover to paddling, hauling lines, and moving boats.

Best part: sled work builds usable strength without the soreness and joint wear of high-impact training.

Simple. Brutal. Effective. 🚣‍♂️💪

LEG PRESS TIPS FOR BEGINNERS

The leg press is great for building strength and confidence in the gym — but form matters.

✅ Keep your feet shoulder-width apart
✅ Lower the weight with control
✅ Push through your heels
✅ Keep your lower back against the pad

🚫 DON’T lock your knees at the top
Locking out your knees puts unnecessary stress on the joints and takes tension off the muscles.

One of the biggest mistakes beginners make on the leg press? 🚫 Locking out the knees at the top.

Think: “soft knees” at the top of every rep 👌

Start lighter, focus on technique, and the strength will come 💪

More advanced lifters may briefly lock out under control depending on training style, mobility, and experience — but it’s not necessary for muscle growth and should never be explosive or careless.
